The Origin – 8th May 2025

~ shaun tenzenmen

What a mess was made

the day they decided

to rumble around in the roses.


Uncontrollable urges confound

all the wisdom one supposes.


Tho the event always exists,

a spark of sadness saw the spin,


Unwinding the troubled twists

to order again, the origin.

A quadrille shared with dVerse Quadrille #223 – tangle/untangle.

    1. 🙏 Thanks for listening Helen. Not many folks take the time (or have the opportunity) to listen and I’m wondering if it’s still worth spending my time making them.

  5. Now that’s a risky tangle! Loved the rhythm in your poem. I think you might have left out the word “tangle” in your quadrille. I did enjoy your poem though.

    1. Thanks Mish 🙏 Was ‘tangle’ supposed to used in the poem? I must admit I didn’t read the prompt closely and just took it as inspiration. I guess I could replace ‘troubled’ with ‘tangled’.

      1. Yes, for the Quadrille prompts the given word (or form of it) is to be included within the poem. The theme and style of your poem is open. No worries but I wanted to clarify that for you for next time. 🙂
